Most Brits are restricted to a set number of annual leave days, and have to ask their employer for permission to take them.
But new data suggests that employees desire a better work-life balance that offers more room for travelling.
A survey of 14,000 participants from 14 different countries revealed that Brits are keen holidaymakers.
Some 46 per cent of Brits have booked at least one trip away for the next 12 months, according to research by Hilton.
But it seems they would book even more if they had the holiday allowance at work.
The study revealed that 46 per cent of the nation would take a pay cut if they were given unlimited annual leave.
Some people have been using other tactics to make up for not having enough leave.
To allow them to travel, 39 per cent have taken unpaid holiday from work so they can get away more.

While it may be a more drastic approach, a whopping 41 per cent said they would quit their job if their leave request was rejected.
Brits want to experience more personal growth and explore when they do manage to get away from the office.
They consider their children’s interests, too, when booking a trip.
When travelling with youngsters, 41 per cent of the nation try to plan holidays around educational experiences.
As for pursuing passions and personal interests outside of work, 66 per cent shared they would take time off to do so.
This was a common theme across the other countries, as 72 per cent of other global participants said the same.
Hilton boss Simon Vincent CBE explained how the report found overall that travelling is a clear ‘top priority’ for people.
He said: ‘Hilton’s 2026 Trends Report confirms that travel remains a top priority, with people looking for added meaning in every trip they take.’

As for where Brits are jetting off to and spending their annual leave visiting, one destination takes the crown.
Spain is the most popular holiday destination for Brits, according to the ABTA Holiday Habits 2025 Report.
It ranked the favourite destinations over the last year – and handed the crown to the holiday hotspot.
Europe’s popularity overall is reflected in its dominance of the most favoured countries visited by UK holidaymakers in the last 12 months.
